Here's why I still do it myself Now that the novelty of generative AI is wearing off, it's clear that there are some serious limitations. When ChatGPT first debuted, I thought my days as a writer were numbered. There are so many things it can do, and I imagine artists have had similar pangs of fearful panic as generative AI keeps getting ever better at creating lifelike and/or stylized images.

GPU prices could follow RAM's big rise You can start using the apps for free, with some limitations. A ChatGPT user asks the chatbot to make an image more vibrant through Photoshop. At the time, the company said more software was on the way, and now one of the most popular professional applications is available through the chatbot. Starting today, you can access Photoshop, Acrobat and Adobe Express inside of ChatGPT. All the apps are free to use through OpenAI's website, though before you can begin generating PDFs and illustrations using Acrobat and Adobe Express, you'll need to sign into your Adobe account.

Ahead of Adobe's MAX Sneaks event, WIRED got an exclusive look at a new tool that can change the tone and style of a voice-over. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Adobe sat me down and played a short demo video with a matter-of-fact, if a bit boring, voice-over. It was nothing special, but after pulling up a transcript, highlighting the text, and choosing from a list of preset emotions, the vocal performance completely changed.

First, there was generative AI, allowing creators, editors and memelords to create artificial worlds with just a few words. Now, Adobe is offering the ability to edit those worlds with Prompt to Edit, a new feature within Firefly, plus audio capabilities. Adobe announced the new capabilities at its MAX conference, where it typically rolls out new capabilities within its Creative Cloud suite as well as Firefly, its AI image generator -- which now includes soundtracks and AI voiceovers.

Google's Conversational Photo Editor Is the Rare AI Feature People Will Actually Use Google's tool greatly simplifies photo editing; just tell your phone what changes you want in the photo, and it'll execute them. It also hints at the coming leap in how we interact with computers. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors.

You can do more with your pictures--you just need the right app. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. You've likely got a plethora of photos stored on your phone, charting out every day (or maybe even every hour) in detail, but have you done anything with them lately? Maybe you share them just as they are--or perhaps you leave them locked away. The right photo editing app can help you to do more with your photos, and make the most of them before sharing.

Adobe has finally delivered on one of the most requested features in Photoshop: image upscaling, as well as improved abilities to insert and remove objects from photographs and other images. Adobe said Tuesday that the new additions are arriving on the desktop edition of Photoshop as well as the web, though you'll need an ongoing Photoshop or Adobe Creative Cloud subscription to take advantage of them. If you own a scrapbook or physical photo album of printed photos, you may have used Google PhotoScan (for Android) to create those printed photos and add them to your physical photo albums. The problem, of course, is that they might be old and grainy, especially if you're like me and didn't have access to the latest and greatest film cameras. Upscaling uses AI to smooth and polish those grainy photos in an attempt to add back what the camera couldn't capture.

You open the program after a long break to edit an image, but this being Photoshop we're talking about, there are about five different ways to complete the task before you and you can't quite remember the way you learned to do it. Adobe is trying to make it easier to use its flagship app with the introduction of a built-in AI agent that can navigate Photoshop and complete tasks for users. Users can access the tool from the redesigned Actions panel. If you've used an AI chat bot before, the interface will be familiar. There's a text box for users to input what they want the agent to do for them, with a list of suggested prompts above.

Adobe said today that it's bringing AI-generated video, aka the Firefly Video Model, to Adobe Premiere Pro plus its Firefly generative art service. Unlike its generative AI image capabilities, however, it won't be free. AI-generated video has been available for months. In December, OpenAI released Sora, its ability to craft AI video clips of several seconds from a text prompt. What Adobe is offering is authenticity.

GIMP (short for GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a very capable open-source image editing app akin to Adobe Photoshop. It's been around since 1998 and it's still in active development to this day. Sure, the keyboard shortcuts aren't quite the same and the interface is far from professional, but GIMP can do a lot of the same image manipulation, photo retouching, effects editing, and composition adjustments that Photoshop can do -- and it does it all for free. GIMP can't do everything that Photoshop can do, like using AI to perform generative fill effects. But GIMP is far from useless.
